Our core business is the delivery of excellent architecture and design: buildings and places that contribute to their context, communicate thoroughness and quality in their organisation and construction, and perform for their occupiers. We realise this for our clients by providing the full range of expert skills from feasibility to design, and through construction to occupation.
Anyone who wishes to carry out work on buildings or land may be required to obtain planning permission.Planning permission is necessary for a wide range of development, for example, the construction.
Building Regulations are there to ensure that construction works are carried out to an acceptable standard so that buildings are structurally sound, moisture resistant, adequately insulated etc.
As well as fulfilling all your design needs, Architown can be commissioned to act on your behalf in all dealings with the Contractor. We will administer the contract through a regime of site visits and meetings and will report back directly to you.
The primary aim of all Structural Design is to ensure that a structure will perform satisfactorily during its design life. The secondary aim is to ensure that a balance is struck between the clients need for a safe and robust structure.
We’ll listen to understand your needs and make sure we are a good match for each other. We may then arrange a meeting to discuss your needs further and make a preliminary inspection of the site. We’ll advise on your projects feasibility, potential fees and estimated timescales and prepare a proposal for your consideration.
We’ll work closely with you to develop a design from your initial brief. We aim to balance your design aspirations with constraints such as your budget, desired timescales, structural or environmental limitations and other legislative restriction such as planning policies or the building regulations.
We’ll deal with any necessary approvals on your behalf such as Planning Permission, Certificates of Lawfulness and the Building Regulations. We’ll prepare extra documents that may be required such as digital mapping, supporting statements and construction specifications.
Once we're satisfied all pre-construction preparation has been completed we'll prepare building contract documents and manage these on your behalf. We’ll regularly visit site to inspect work completed to date, checking the contractor's progress before certifying payments.
